Lord Churchill Congratulated.

LONDON, February 1.-The Standard
congrstulates Lord Randolph Churchill
upon his speech in the House of Commons
last night in the debate on the address in
reply to the Queens speech, and says his
effort was a success. 1t thinks, however,
that Lord Randolph would have done bet
ter to have Left the question alone, especial
iy when there are indications that Ger
many meditates inviting France to terms
for real peace. His reference to the Liberal
UnioniSts, the Standard says, was also
unhappy; but the union is too stable, it
asserts, to be hurt thereby. The STANDARD
says in addition: THE Cabinet is engaged
in framing a bill to deal with the people
of the poorer districts in Ireland like alen-
beigh, County Kerry, in the light Of Sir
Michael Hicks-B Beach's idea of migration.
The Liberal leaders have general support
to the governments proposals for reform
of the Parliamentary procedure rules"

ANODERN CYCLOPS.
A Human Phenomenon With Two Eyes
In One.

PTTTsBURG, February IA genuine,
flesh and blood Cyclops is in possession OF
the Western Pennsylvania Medical College.
1t was not born among the mountain caves
of Sicily, but the equally rugged hills and
crags of Beaver county. 1t is not giant
and will never forge thunderbolts for
Jupiter, nor be imprisoned in the Tar
tarus.
1t is q pound babe, whose only
disturbance among the races of men and
gods was a few lusty cries which startled
a Beaver county Ksculapius After this
the modern Cyclops breathed its last and
was swiftly horne by ruthless hands to the
city of iron and fiery gasses, where 1t was
imprisoned in glass full of dreadful
spirits.
This remarkable monStrosity was
brought to the new medical college, near
the West Penn Hospital, yesterday, from
Beaver where it was given birth last week.
1t is the most perfectly developed phenOm-
enon of its kind in the United States.
There is 4 similar one at the Bellevue Hos
pitai, New York, but the subject is badly
deformed in other ways, aside from having
only one eye. The child received by the
faculty of the medical college here, has
only one eye, or rather two eyes in one
socket. This socket is in the middle of
the base of the forehead, or where
the base OF the nose ought to be.
The nose, or rather prOtuberance
answering for nose, is Immediately
above the double eye, on the forehead,
while below the eye, where the nose
should be, there is a small cavity, covered
by a membrane similar to the lining of
the nasal organ. The two balls and re-
tinas of the ClyclOpean eye are so nearly
in contact that it requires close Observa-
tion to detect that it is not one and the
same optic.
Aside from these abnormal conditions
the child is apparently well developed in
limbs and body. 1t weighs nearly II
pounds, above the averaged-sized babe,
and lived 10 hours after its birth. Its
parents are people in good circumstances
and the mother was not allowed to see the
child, being told that it was dead and
buried. She is the mother of other healthy
children.

The Ex-Govprnor's Friends Assured of
Victory.


Victory.
TRENTON, n. j., February 1.-The re-
port that Senator Moon, of Warren, is
likely to be taken up as the compromise
candidate for the United States Senate is
authoritatiyely denied here tonight by
Mr.. Abbett's managers. Mr.. Moon is Il
warm friend of Mr.. Albeit, and will vote
for him to the last. The Albeit forces are
rs aggressive and tenacious rs ever, be-
sides being confident of victory, and until
the last blow is struck will not give up
the fight. The vote of Speaker Baird is
all they want to make victory assured.
The bolt of Speaker Baird from his party
calls to mind other bolts of some cOnse-
quence. A score of years ago Assembly
man Valentine, of Warren, bolted his party
on a measure to redistrlGt the State IN the
interest of the Democrats, when he was
roundly liberated and denounced. Ever
afterwards he lived i'll Obscurity. Next
Senator NOrcOss, of Burlington, bOlted the
republican forces to elect his father-in-law
Secretary of the Senate, and the president
and all the other officers elected were dem
ocrats, his vote bringing about the result.
When the late Commodore Stockton was
candidate for United States Senator
about thirty years ago three Democrats
holted and refused to vote for him because
he was railroad lawyer. Two years ago
Senators Schcnck, of Middlesex, and
Youngbood, of Morris bolted the Repub-
lican ranks, and with the aid OF the Demo
Gratis Schenck was elected President of the
Senate. All the other officers elected,
hover, were Republicans, but the Demo
Gratis were given 0ne-half the committees.
| 1t is remarkable fact that the boilers
soon faded from public view and never
again took part in State politics. The Abb
bett followers now seem TO take some COM
tort ont of this review.
1t is believed the Senate will organize
this week, if only for one reason, and that
is for the purpose of bringing up a big
water scheme before the Legislature. Sew
eral people rom the upper part OF the
State, with an eye to business, want to
push through measure for supplying
Newark, Jersey City and Paterson with
''pure and wholesome water" and the
sooner the Senate organizes the sooner they
will have chance to lobby it through. 1t
is said there are millions in it, and the
scheme will incite nearly as much atten-
ton and conflict as the Senatorial tight.

IN THE SOUDAN.
Italian Forces Annihilated-A Sensation I'm
the Italian Chamber.

the ltalian ChamDer.
ROME, February Premier Depretis
informed the Italian Chamber of Deputies
to-day that there had recently been severe
fighting in that part of the Soudan
whose occupation was being at,
tempted by Italy in understanding
with England. lie said this fighting had
resulted in almost complete disaster to the
Italian forces engaged in conjunction with
the Abyssinian troops in the work of at
tempting to relieve Kassala, which had
been besieged by hostile Arabs ever since
the beginning of the Soudan war by the
late FL Mahdi.
Going into details the Premier said that
Rasaluta, the General commanding the
Abyssinians, accompanied by a small
number of Italian soldiers, attacked Saati
OH January 25th last. A hotly fought
battle ensued. 1t lasted three hours
and the army of Rasaluta was repulsed
The Italian loss was trihing and that OF the
Abyssinians was unknown. Next day
three companies of Italian troops left
Monkullo, 10 carry provisions to
Saatl. lhe ADvsSinlans again mace
an attack and desperate battle
was waged. The Abyssinians were de-
feated and the Italian troops simply ami
hilated. This statement made a profound
sensation in the Chamber. The Premier
warned them and added that the
Italian commander recalled Ihis troops
from the advance and concentrated
them ut Massowah. The Radicals laughed
ironically at this The Government now
proposes bill for an appropriation OF
81, 900, 900 with which to send Italian re-
enforcement to MassOwah. The Chamber
at once approved the bill by an almost
unanimous vote.
The Radicals cried ont, Eve must re,
tire" The majority reioined with cries OF
never" 'cowardsI" etc. The city to,
night is in 4 high state of excitement bor-
dering on frenzy over the news from the
SOudan.

MADE NAN AND WIPE.
Spies Brother Acs for Him as Representative and
Goes Through The CsssnOuy With Him IN The
Office Of Justice Englshardi--fhs
Law in the Matter.

CHICAGO, February 1.-The announce
ment was made to-day that August Spies
and Miss Nina Van Zandt have been mar
ried by proxy, the groom being represent
Cd by his brother. A suburban Justice Of
the Peace officiated. When Sheriff Mat
son, about two weeks ago issued an order
to the officials of the county Jail not to ad-
NIT Miss Van Zandt to see Spies, it was
thought that the matter was settled, but it
now appears that neither of the couple
abandoned their purpose. The law about
marrying by letter and
MARRIAGES By PROXY
was looked up, but nothing VAS found ex-
cept in regard to marriage by proxy.
This was finally decided upon, and Justice
Engleharit, in the town of Jefferson, whose
name figured in the papers during the last
months of the past year, as denouncing
the verdict OF the Anarchist trial in public
speeches, was consulted. He gave il ~
his opinion that . marriage by proxy would
be binding in law il the proxy WAS
made ont in due legal form.
He was commissioned 10 draw up form,
proxy, and spent considerable time in
making il conform 10 what he thought was
the law in the case The document was not
gotten ready until last Friday. Early Sat
urday Miss VanZandt and Gretchen Spies,
the sister of August, went out to Jefferson
and called on Justice Englclnrdt TO get

Jail with il. They met the wife
of Spies brother Ferdinand and a Miss
Wendland. Miss Van Zandts three COM
panions witnessed the signature oi Spies To
the document by which he gave fall
authority TO his brother, Henry W. Spies,
Ia represent him at the ceremony. Mrs.
Ferdinand Spies and Miss Gretchen Spies
signed the paper 10 witness August Spies
signature. Then the whole party, except
Spies himself, went with Ferdinand Spies
To JUSTICE ENGLEHARDr's ofFicE.
They were reinforced on the way by Miss
Van Zandts parents and Henry and Chris
Spies, brothers OF August The journey
10 Justice Englehardt's Office was made on
foot. Ii was AFTER \ o'clock Saturday
night. by this time the justice again ex.
amined his law books and then the ccre-
mony was performed. Henry Spies an
swered 70 the name of August Vincent
Theodore Spies, and under this name
was married Ia Miss Van Xandt.
The bride and her parents
went from the Office OF the Justice To the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdinand spies,
not far distant, and remained there over
night. The license has not yet been
returned to the County Clerk, ~ required
10y law. IL was issued only three weeks
ago, however, and the thirty days allowed
for its return have not yet expired. JUS

Sensational Descent to the Ground From

Sensational Descent to the Ground From
"a Balloon ON "a Parachute.
SAN FRANCISCO, February l.-Clingng
to Il parachute T. s. Baldwin leaped this
afternoon from balloon over thousand
feet up in the air, thus making the biggest
drop jump on record Baldwin is the man
who walked OH a tight rope from the Cliff
House to Seal Rocks last summer, and VINO
claims to have passed across Niagara Falls
on some slim support.
His last feat took place in an enclosure
outside Golden Gate Park, and was wit
messed by about twelve thousand people.
The balloon was Professor Van Tasscl's
Eclipse, and at three o'clock Baldwin ap-
peared in feshings and spangles. He vault
ell lightly into the basket. To this was
attached what looked like an enormous
white canvas umbrella about ten feet long
closed up, and with fixed trapeze in
place Ola handle. At Baldwin's signal
the rope attached to the balloon was payed
out until trfle over thousand feet had
been reeled off the windlasS
Baldwin was then seen to step on the
rim of the basket and, grasping the trapeze
in his hands, gave shout and jumped
into space. For second athlete and can
vas attached tell with lightning speed,
while great scream went up from below
Another second and the parachute opened
and the fall was so visibly arrested that the
machine and man halted in mid air like a
great strange bird. Then gravitation as
serted itself and once more Baldwin began
to fall. The rush downward increased
with every foot until the velocity was
frightful, and again people began to scream.
An instant and Baldwin was crashing
through branches of small waffle trees.
Thousands rushed to his aid, but, picking
himself up, he threw back somersaults, ran
a fifty yard squirt and said he would make
the drop fifteen hundred next time.

THE DOODLE TRIAL.
O'NeiPs Lawyer Blackens the Character oi
the Informers.


the Informers.
New YORK, February 1.-On the reas'
sembling of the Court of Oyer and Ter
miner this morning the trial of ex-Alder-
man John O'Neil tor bribery was con-
tinued before Judge Barrett. Mr.. Brooke,
on re- uming his summing up, again called
attention to the significance OF the fact
that the late ex-Alderman McLaugh-
lin was not at the 9 O'Clock
meeting, and therefore did not vote
on the bill. In substance he then said:
Both Fullgraff and Duffy can only recOl-
lect that DeLacy and Jaehne were the
spokesmen at the alleged meeting of the
Combine Jaehne is in State prison and
DeLacy in Canada. They cannot deny
these statements. Mclaughlin is also
dead, and cannot be called to refute the
allegations that the meetings were held in
his house. The story of the combination
between antagonistic members of the
Board, and the statements of the details
of the gatherings are so improbable that
even were the characters of the informers
not impeached they ought not and could
not be believed bv any one."

Tenants Driven Away by MoonIighters.

DUBLIN, February 1.-The troubles be-
tween the mo9nlighters and the Curtin
family at Mulahaiie, County Kerry, are
helng revived. in November, 1885, band
of twelve moonlighters, armed and masked,
broke into the house of Mr.. Curtin, Presi-
dent ofthe Molahaffe branch Of the Nation
al League, and small farmer. The
family, consisting of Mr.. Curtin, his two
sons and daughters, we're in bed.
The mOoniighters demanded all the
arms in the house. A desperate fight ensued
in which the elder Curtin shot and killed q
moonlighter, a neighbor named sullivan,
and was himself moytaliy wounded. Sew
eral Qther moonlighters were more or less
hurt, and many of them were identified by
the Curtin girls, who took an active part
in the struggle and succeeded in tearing
the masks from the faces of nearly all the
invaders In the trial which follawed ,he
events of that night the Misses Curtin iden-
tilted the captain OF the moonlighters and
leveral Of the hand. All these men were
we'll known and in good standing.
The trial caused profound bitterness
against the Curtns. Popular sympathy
was almost entirely on the side Of the de-
PENDANTS in the trials, and ,h- curtin
girls, who persisted in testilying against
the prisoners for numbering their father,
were continuously subjected to the most
exasperating boyeotting. This state q
feeling against the Curtins has been kept
alive ever since, and it is reported that ths
family, unable any longer to stand the
boycott viii give up the lease of their
farm and move away. The insults al
church have bean in an aggravated form,
and notices have been posted at Fieres
Molahaffe and Tralee, warning all psrsans
against taking their lara under penalty OI

PENDLETON'S RETURN.
Rumors that He is to be Offered the Treas.

ury Portfolio.
New YORK February IA special from
Washington says: "There is a rumor that
Mr.. Pensleton's return from. his post al
Berlin is due to the Presidents desire to
offer him the Treasury portfolio. Little
credit is given to the report. There is still
the best of reasons for believing that either
Mr.. Scott or Mr.. Fairchild will be Mr..
Manning's successor. Mr.. Scott can have
the place if he wants it. In the Treasury
the appointment of Mr.. Fairchild
would be looked upon with more
favor. Against the appointment OF Mr..
PendletOn, it is urged, is his financial
record, which has not at all times been
as clean with regard to soft money as the
present Administration might be supposed
to desire. Though nobody has been prom
inently mentioned as the successor of Mr..
Jordan as yet, it is believed that Mr..
Whelpley, the present Assistant Treasurer,
stands a good chance of obtaining the
place. His appointment would be in direct
line of promotion. He obtained his pres,
ent place in this way, having for many
yeaIC been the cashier. s-5-S---.s-> - s9

Hon. George II. Pendleton was sent for,

lieve Mr.. Scott will go into President
Cleveland's Cabinet. / have, however,
good ground for the belief that If Secretary
Manning retires, as now seems probable,
the place at the head of the Treasury will
be at his disposal. Mr.. Scott was one OF
the original Cleveland men at the Chicago
convention, and has held close personal
and political relations with the President
ever since He is an able financier
